Comair will NOT get the 30 Dorniers???

[46Driver]

House,
Another reason (in addition to nobody wanting the Dorniers) for Delta to keep ACA is that we are not their primary competition. Our main competition is going to be JetBlue, AirTran, USAir, and UAL - all of which are of more concern to Delta than we are. Something like the enemy of my enemy is my friend.....

In other words, as long as we are causing UAL and the others more pain than to Delta, I don't see a change. I am sure Delta would love to get UAL's Pacific route structure for a Song (pun intended....)

I think you are correct 46drivr. I don't think Delta looks at you the way UAL or USAir does. Not to say that you won't be good competition---it's just that you pose MORE of a threat to UAL (hence their collusion deal with Mesa) and possibly taking some traffic away from USAir at DCA. I believe most of your flights will target the people living in the DC area and area near IAD, with connections made North and South etc(with some transcons in there too). Delta mainly feeds its ATL and CVG hub from IAD, with a SLC flight or two in there also. Your primary target will be UAL--and they are getting nervous. We shall see if it works.

Bye Bye---General Lee
